When you become a parent, your priorities drastically change in a short time. A child means more financial responsibilities, so it's only practical to dispose of unnecessary obligations, one of which may be a timeshare. If you're looking for reasons to exit your holdings, here are a few reasons that should convince you to do so.  

Why Exit the Timeshare?

A timeshare isn't considered an investment—even if some people tell you otherwise. Although it allows you to own a portion of a particular vacation property, such as a condo unit or room in resorts, it comes with a long list of restrictions.

If you're a timeshare owner, you're entitled to stay in the property for a particular period or the same time each year. Some timeshares allow flexibility in the use of the property, but this comes with a caveat, too. If you already have a child, it gets harder to make vacation plans when you start to have a list of other obligations like schooling and extracurricular activities. By the time you make reservations on the timeshare, someone else already booked the unit for their family vacation. When the children get older, chances are they'll want to visit another place other than the usual timeshare property.

After shelling out thousands of dollars for the timeshare, know that your obligation doesn't stop there. It requires an annual maintenance fee that typically costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars—money that could be spent on your child's schooling and medical needs. Unless you exit the timeshare, you are obligated to pay fees, which can limit your cash flow.

What's Your Best Option?

One way to get rid of a timeshare is to invoke your right of rescission; however, the period differs across states. You can also try checking with the resort if they offer buyback programs, but if they don't, explore other alternatives. Rather than trying to get out of the contract on your own, work with professionals who can help you exit it. They offer tried-and-tested strategies to help you break free from these restrictive contracts.
